So, went up moel siabod (or tried too) yesterday, when I was turned around by a wild animal, not a bear or a wolf, but a psychotic grouse barely the size of my walking boot. My friend and I were minding our own business walking up the path around the back of daear ddu ridge when he flew in an positioned himself between us, first we thought he was cute and stood there and admired him for a while thinking ‘wow how tame he is’ as we continued he true nature appeared... he started getting himself around my feet trying to peck me, I told him to ‘f*** off’ which seemed to agitate him more, then he launched a full blown attack at my head, like he was wielding a zombie knife in the bronx, and started and weaving himself between us telling us to ‘bogoff bogoff bogoff’. Im ashamed to say that as I was stood precariously on a rock on a steep hill I thought it my be best to heed his warning and we retreated, before he caused me to lose my balance and go tumbling. he followed us down for a while occasionally shouting more obscenities at us as he watched us ‘get off his patch like innit’ so I’m wandering has anyone else had an experience like this with grouse?
